Let's divide 852986 by 38
Let's see how many times 38 fits into 852986.

Advancing to step 1:
38 goes into 8 0 times with a remainder of 8.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 8 to get 8.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 8 and repeat the process: 85 / 38

On to step 2:
When dividing 85 by 38, we get 2 with a remainder of 9.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2.0
Deduct 76 from 85 and we're left with 9.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 92 / 38

Going ahead to step 3:
If we divide 92 by 38, we get 2 and a remainder of 16.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22.0
Subtract 76 from 92 to get 16.
Include the next digit (9) from the dividend after 16, then repeat: 169 / 38

Let's proceed to step 4:
169 divided by 38 is 4 with a remainder of 17.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 224.0
If we subtract 152 from 169, we get 17.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 17, then carry on: 178 / 38

Step 5:
If we divide 178 by 38, we get 4 and a remainder of 26.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 2244.0
Deduct 152 from 178 and we're left with 26.
Grab the next digit (6) from the dividend, add it to 26, then carry on: 266 / 38

Advancing to step 6:
The number 38 fits into 266 7 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22447.0
If we subtract 266 from 266, we get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
38 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 22447.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
38 can be fit into 0 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 22447.0
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Our division results in 22447.0 with a remaining 0.0.
